Keynote by Emilie Svensson:
Harnessing the power of dark humor or intelligent humor to cope with difficult life experiences and improving mental health
Humans are remarkably resilient, while some might regress into a state of permanent despair, others can turn to dark humor as a sophisticated psychological tool, helping people to process pain, regain a sense of agency, connect with others, and preserve sanity in chaos.
Keynote by Emilie Svensson:
Discovering empathy through the shared human condition
Knowing that all humans suffer, and quite likely share similarities in their suffering, we can all find that red thread of human connection while mitigating feelings of isolation.
Keynote by Emilie Svensson:
When dark humor can go too far, and knowing where to draw the line
While dark humor can act as a shield or a mirror in one's life, dark humor can also be pointed or misused.
If misused, or used in the company of the wrong audience, dark humor can target people, alienate and bully, significantly backfiring it's purpose to bring people together through shared laughter.
Keynote by Emilie Svensson:
